Its inevitable that a lot of E Series guys will end up in AU's at some point. They are going to see the light eventually. :

Nice Car mate... Looks great! Love the color too!
Once you've owned an AU, you never go back... they're an amazing car. I'm kinda wishing I'd held out a bit longer and saved the extra dosh for an XR6 now, but that's life I guess

thanx 4 the positive feedback guys the car is great love driving it thought changin gears would b a chore but its heaps better im actually 'drivin' the car it handles great ride is abit firm but ill get used to it (the ol ED used to bounce around lol) also i thought it was worth spendin the extra money on an XR aswell :hihi:

Very nice purchase. Top choice of colour too. Ride, I just put that down to the quality of the roads.
